The L3 Leadership Podcast with Doug Smith My Step by Step Process for How You can Get a Meeting with Anyone
You are one relationship away from changing your destiny - how will you plan accordingly? By being intentional with your networking strategy, you can open doors to meetings with leaders you never thought you’d ever have the opportunity to be in the same room with. With the right approach, you have an even greater opportunity to transform your one-time coffee meeting into a long-term mentoring relationship.
In today’s episode, I share how to score meetings with anyone, including those at the top of your bucket list. I discuss how to bring a unique proposition to every meeting and add value to the leader sitting at the other end of the table. I also highlight how to show each leader you meet with that you truly know and value who they are, and make yourself unforgettable in their eyes as a result.
“You attract who you are, not what you want.” - Doug Smith
